| |  | TORONTO:
TORONTO (AP) - Maple Leafs general manager Dave Nonis was content with his labors when he met with reporters in an offseason July press conference.
Just 53 days earlier, his team blew a three-goal lead in the third period of a Game 7 of vs. Boston. Instead of basking in the glow of Toronto's first playoff appearance since 2003-04, Nonis had to ponder what went wrong in that first-round exit, and what needed to be done to make sure it didn't happen again.
So, he traded for Los Angeles Kings goaltender Jonathan Bernier and Chicago Blackhawks center Dave Bolland, and signed New Jersey Devils right wing David Clarkson to a seven-year, $36.75 million free agent contract.
Suddenly, a good Maple Leafs team that had a bad ending, was a better team with renewed vigor.
``I've done what I can do,'' Nonis said. ``We're pretty happy. I think we'll be pretty competitive. I can tell you (coach Randy Carlyle) is happy with the options we have in a lot of areas.''
Toronto opens vs. Montreal on Oct. 1. | | NASHVILLE: NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Making the playoffs has become so automatic for the Nashville Predators that they didn't react well to finishing below .500 for the first time in a decade.
They went shopping in a very big way hoping to make sure thatdoesn't happen again.
The Predators opened free agency signing five of the seven players they added on the first day. Right wing Viktor Stalberg from Stanley Cup champ Chicago is the key addition, and they also added Eric Nystrom, and Matt Hendricks and center Matt Cullen, who helped Carolina win the Stanley Cup in 2006.
"It shows all the commitment," captain Shea Weber said. "They made those moves, and they addressed the needs we have. They filled some spots, and obviously everyone's going to see what those guys are capable of. And we're going to see what they can do in the locker room as well."
Nashville will be looking for its eighth playoff berth in a decade this season trying to bounce back from a 16-23-9 record that put them 14th in the Western Conference.
"We feel like we're back to having the depth and the pieces to do what we need to do," Nashville coach Barry Trotz said.
The Predators will need scoring from the new players.
They averaged just 2.27 goals per game last season, tying Florida for the worst scoring average in the NHL. Stalberg is expected to be the biggest addition if he can prove that all he needed was more playing time after struggling to find ice time behind the offensive stars in Chicago. He tied for fifth in goals in Chicago despite ranking 20th in minutes per game last season.
"All the guys in the locker room expect us to be back in the playoffs this year and to make a run," Stalberg said. "We got what it takes in here. It's a matter of putting it all together and finding a way to win hockey games." |

*Maple Leafs-Predators Preview* ===============================
By ALAN FERGUSON STATS Writer
Toronto (3-1-0) at Nashville (1-2-0), 8:00 p.m. EDT
The short-handed Toronto Maple Leafs are expected to get at least one player back following their first loss of the season, but the status of their leading scorer is unknown.
Joffrey Lupul is dealing with an injured calf but will travel with the Maple Leafs for Thursday night's game against the Nashville Predators.
The Maple Leafs (3-1-0) are missing Mark Fraser, Nikolai Kulemin and Frazer McLaren to injury, and David Clarkson is almost halfway through his 10-game suspension. Jay McClement missed the Leafs' matchup with Colorado on Tuesday after his wife went into labor.
"You're going to have to deal with adversity throughout the course of the season," coach Randy Carlyle said. "And injuries and birth of children, family illness - all those things roll into the things that you have to deal with. We're no different than anybody else."
McClement returned to practice Wednesday after the birth of his son, Reid, a day earlier. Lupul, though, was forced to sit out because of the injury he suffered in a 2-1 loss to the Avalanche.
Lupul has a team-best five points and scored his second goal in as many games in the loss to Colorado.
"It's nothing other than a bruise. He's day-to-day," Carlyle said. "It'll be dependent on how he feels. He'll make the trip with us. We haven't made a determination. Hopefully, the swelling will subside and he'll be back to normal."
The Maple Leafs are hoping Lupul will be available to prevent Nashville from building on its first win of the season. The Predators (1-2-0) used three first-period goals, including Eric Nystrom converting his first career penalty shot, for a 3-2 victory against visiting Minnesota on Tuesday.
"You couldn't have scripted it any better to score a goal like that, kind of dramatic fashion and ended up being the game winner against your former team," Nystrom said. "It was pretty exciting. It was fun to play here and get our first win of the season."
That win kicked off a five-game homestand for Nashville, and the Predators' three goals matched their output from their first two games.
"It's always nice to win the first one and try to build some confidence, some good things and keep moving forward when we're at home because we're going to be on the road quite a while," captain Shea Weber said.
Weber and the Predators are facing Toronto for the first time since a 4-1 home win Nov. 17, 2011. Pekka Rinne made 38 saves while helping Nashville pull away in that game.
Predators center Mike Fisher has a point in each of his team's first three games. He's totaled three goals and three assists in his last four games against Toronto but the most recent matchup was on Nov. 17, 2011.
The Maple Leafs might use Jonathan Bernier against Fisher and the Predators. He's 7-1-0 with a 1.88 goals-against average in eight lifetime matchups, including a 5-1 win for Los Angeles on March 4.
